I'm just place marking so I can follow along even if I'm not great at contributing. Hope that's ok!

@GCS34 Always the way isn't it, period behaves perfectly until you're starting a cycle, then boom! I'm still three weeks away from being due, and off the back of my fresh cycle, I'm pretty sure things will be messed up. Hopefully I'll be able to track ovulation which will tell me where things are at...

@kirstysmbc have you had a withdrawal or you using the withdrawal as your next period? I unfortunately don’t have the beauty of regular periods, so I’m less predictable when things start as it’s a scan and random start if everything looks calm. Fingers crossed I won’t be having any form of bleed for a while 😂 one can hope! How are you feeling about the final embryo? Have you listened to the bfn podcast yet?

@Doughnut89 thanks lovely 🥰 and that’s super exciting about your midwife apt. Please let me know how it goes. Is that your first ever? I don’t even know what happens at them it’s all so exciting 🥰ah I thought it was you who had the londons women’s clinic shit show. So unfair clinics and monopolise something that is a basic human thing! (not so basic for our bodies mind you!)

@CB2805 oh wow I didn’t know you were in Greece. Are you living there now or are you over for an ivf stay? Pleased you’re finding it more suitable for you. It’s what works for you isn’t it? I’m glad you’ve found somewhere you feel comfortable.

@girljulian I really hope you are right, it just doesn't feel right to not feel anything haha! I'm dreading Sunday morning ! I guess it will or it won't just grateful we have options if it's a negative !

Lowo21 · 22/09/2023 21:52

@GCS34 big shout out to your lining !!! Grow uterus grow !!! Well done, fantastic news !

@CB2805 I know I keep banging on about it but if you can transfer to a TFP clinic I have heard some really good things and can't fault them from my own experience. I hope you are doing ok? X

Summerishere83 · 22/09/2023 21:57

Very excited for your transfer next week @GCS34 , fingers crossed all goes well!!

Sorry to hear about the disappointment for some, wishing you all the best and all the strength you can summon, you're stronger than you know, look after themselves ❤️

Massive congratulations on the BFPs, wishing you healthy and uneventful pregnancies 🤞

Good luck to all in the tww!!!

CB2805 · 22/09/2023 22:04

@Summerishere83 thanks lovely. It shows how little faith I have in my body when I celebrate a bloody millimetre 😂🙈 where are you at? Everything moves as the pace of lightening in here so I lose track of everything - my journey included!

thsnks @Lowo21 its certainly feeling the love and playing fairly now. I defo put it down to sleep and having 5 cold nights too so I’ve had a hot water bottle on my stomach and that is meant to help too! God I love winter and snuggling down 🥰 so praying for Sunday for you!!!

@CB2805 oh jice! How long have you been out there for now? And do you work remotely while you’re there or you taken a break totally? Fingers crossed for Monday and you can get going off your withdrawal 🤞 where in Greece are you?

I think TFP are really variable. I transferred away from TFP Oxford because I hated them so much.

CB2805 · 23/09/2023 10:45

@GCS34 We decided to take our annual leave while here to make it stress free, we’ve been here for a month now. Obv it’s not necessary we just wanted to wait the 2WW here and see how it’s going. Finger crossed for Monday🤞

@CB2805 yes it’s warm and currently enjoying a sunbath at the beach. We’re in Athens but we found a place to stay by the sea side so it’s wonderful tbh! No we didn’t say anything just can’t bear the thought of the questions and pity looks
yeah I think I got messed up🤣

Hey all just did my test, BFN for me. Hopefully be able to try again before Christmas. Good luck to everyone else out there! I will linger in the background but may not post for a bit. You have all been so incredibly supportive thank you xxx

kirstysmbc · 24/09/2023 07:27

@Lowo21 I'm so sorry it was a negative test for you this morning. Do you have more embryos or will you be doing another fresh round? Take care of yourself today, sending hugs x

ARM23 · 24/09/2023 07:52

@GCS34 Good (I think)…I’ve just been doing my patches, USS tomorrow to check lining. Good luck with your transfer!

@CB2805 that sounds wonderful. Enjoy the sun and the beach

Justkeepmoving1234 · 24/09/2023 08:07

Just a quick update. My spotting was brown discharge over a couple of hours and then stopped. I've been waiting a couple of days to retest, I got a very positive BFP this morning. So it must have been implantation bleeding.

Still very much in shock as we had a failed FET last month with an A embryo. Just goes to show, you just never know whats around the corner ladies! Really hope this gives everyone some hope.

Justkeepmoving1234 · 24/09/2023 08:08

I'm also in the 38 going very quickly into 39 club...

kirstysmbc · 24/09/2023 08:21

@Justkeepmoving1234 That's wonderful news! I had brown discharge a few times in the first few months of my successful pregnancy, which was always worrying and no one could ever explain why it happened. Fingers crossed for a healthy, worry free pregnancy for you 🤞🤞

@ARM23 awesome. How you found the patches? I’ve been trying to shower with clingfilm wrapped round my bloody leg 😂 I still look ant them and think how are you working? are you on oestrogen tablets too? And have you had a thick lining prev? I was so worried for me but genuinely, if I can grow a 7.4mm, anyone in the world can’! What times your scan?
thanks for the wishes. Gets scary round about now doesn’t it! 😳

@Justkeepmoving1234 woohoo! Great news! What have your clinic said? Bet they’re like woahhhhh wtf 😂

kirstysmbc · 24/09/2023 09:00

@GCS34 I wore the patches for three months, they're very sticky and no need to cover them when showering or bathing. There's no way they'll come off!! You can even wear them swimming 😊
